Melchor_Múzquiz

José Ventura Melchor Ciriaco de Ecay-Múzquiz y Arrieta (5 January 1790 – 14 December 1844) was a Mexican soldier and politician who became the 5th President of Mexico after president Anastasio Bustamante stepped down to personally lead his armies against an 1832 insurgency known as the Plan of Veracruz.
Múzquiz played an active role in attempting to suppress the revolt, but revolution would succeed and Múzquiz was forced to step down on December, 1832 in favor of the insurgents' choice for president: Manuel Gomez Pedraza.
